Thinking is what brains do. Brains can be arbitrarily wrong. They are often very wrong. They arrive at being wrong by thinking. They can stubbornly remain wrong through thought. Lots and lots of bad thinking happens. Clearly, something else is essential in order to make thought good. You can think and logic any position. People who think otherwise are either explicitly or implicitly rejecting some mode of thought or logic. That's fine, but how do they arrive at this rejection, and how do they know if it's a good or bad rejection? Since they are thinking, and the people who embrace those bad modes of thought and logic are also thinking, clearly it's not just thinking that solves things. If a brain is present then thought is present. That's all that can be said about brains and thought without appealing to more. Does a brain even need to be present in order for a problem to be solved? Maybe thought isn't necessary at all. But we are part brain, so we have to figure out what good and bad thinking is, so that we can be better brains and not worse.
